Tomorrow's
Life Coach In This Issue:
Tomorrow's Life Coach (TLC) is a monthly online journal from the Institute for Life Coach Training (ILCT) that nourishes the intellect, intuition and inspiration of the personal and business coaching community. Pat's Ponderings - Live Enthusiastically And Purposefully (LEAP) As I write this, Feb 29th is coming up. (Although you will be reading this in the March newsletter). As you are aware, Leap Year only happens every four years on February 29th. So we all get an extra day this year – 24 more additional hours – how did you spend the time? Better yet, can you use this year to make a LEAP year for yourself? What would you really, really like to accomplish or improve or change by the end of 2008 – or sooner if you really LEAP? I love that the field of coaching has become a profession available to assist people in leaping forward into optimal living. In business and in life and the coach is there to applaud and support the client as they jump into their desired future. But coaching is also a profession that calls the coach to continually be learning and evolving in their own personal and professional development. What big goal or intention do you have that you could LEAP ahead with? What support do you need? Are you working with a coach? One LEAP that ILCT is making this year is to shift and expand some of our training into the corporate/leadership niche for teaching developing leaders how to use coaching, and how to create a coaching culture in the workplace. This is an exciting move for us and you can read more about it soon. I believe that leaders are already "leapers" and risk takers; but with coaching, they will improve the quality of each "leap," and make sure it is done with forethought, planning, and support!!! Happy LEAP year! Pat Patrick Williams Ed.D., MCC Monthly Free Introduction to Coaching Calls: Have you lost the passion you had when you entered the profession of being a therapist?

Leadership Coaching Track Coaching and executive coaching are the wave of the future. Companies want and need us! We can bring dramatic change to help both individuals and companies as a whole. Without a doubt we can help make a company successful. Corporate coaching is a powerful interactive exercise in which trained coaches assist clients in designing successful and fulfilling futures by envisioning and establishing concrete, attainable, personal, and professional goals. Corporate coaching is an innovative relationship-based approach between the client and a qualified coach implementing a wide array of assessment, conversational, and behavioral skills to assist participants in achieving goals to improve their performance and satisfaction. Enhanced managerial satisfaction improves a manager’s effectiveness and, subsequently, positively affects an entire organization. This coaching relationship offers participants the opportunity to meet with someone who will intently listen to their needs and concerns, help discover challenges, and offer creative solutions for identifying specific personal and professional niches that can benefit from the establishment of measurable goals.

Psychotherapy Networker Symposium Workshop with Pat Williams Pat Williams will be presenting Becoming a Wise Elder Therapist: Lessons from Africa and Tribal Societies at the 2008 Psychotherapy Networker Symposium East: The Power of Relationship, March 13-16, 2008 in Washington, DC. Workshop Description: Our society fears age and disparages older people, even as we desperately need the mentoring and modeling that wise elders can provide. But living a long life doesn't guarantee wisdom, even for trained therapists. In this interactive workshop, based on the presenter's long experiences working with and observing tribal elders in the hunter-gatherer tribes of southern Tanzania and pastoral Masai groups of northern Tanzania, we'll explore the particular tasks entailed by this natural stage of human development. Participants will be guided through the "four flames of vital aging," a process for fulfilling personal identity, giving ourselves to the community, exploring creativity, and finding our deepest purpose in life. Special attention will be paid to ways in which senior therapists can become new elders for their own profession. Expand Your Business! Deepen
